Laurent,
I have a running Mathematica under Linux, but I have made the following
changes to the file .... SystemFiles/KeyTranslations.tr:
Item[KeyEvent[Delete], "DeleteNext"],
Item[KeyEvent["#", Modifiers -> {Control}], "Fraction"],
Item[KeyEvent[Home], "MoveLineBeginning"],
Item[KeyEvent[Home, Modifiers -> {Control}], "ScrollNotebookStart"],
Item[KeyEvent[End, Modifiers -> {Control}], "ScrollNotebookEnd"],
Item[KeyEvent[End], "MoveLineEnd"],
In the .Xdefaults I added the lines:
XMathematica*XmText.translations:
XMathematica*Text.translations:
Anything else I left unchanged. BTW I use SuSE linux 6.3 Kernel 2.2.13
if this is of interest for you.
Gruss, Peter
